To blame or not to blame? There are appropriate times to seek and place
blame. Like when lives have been lost or
harmed, and when property is damaged.
But often in matters of somewhat less importance, but significant none
the less, we try too hard to blame others.
Admirable is the notion of taking responsibility for ones’ action. It is too easy to place blame, point the
finger, or deny responsibility. We all
do it to some degree, but in highly visibly situations, on important issues and
in teaching moments, great leaders pass on blaming others (even if somewhat
justified). The high road is one taken
without blaming others and a wise choice to make. Think about that at home in the example we
set for our kids. Unfortunately our
younger generation seems extremely quick to lay blame. Take responsibility for whom and what you
are. Pass up the finger pointing
opportunity and lead by example.
Consider this quote…
“The search for someone to blame
is always successful.”
- Robert Half
